Two-year-olds are interesting people.
The biggest of our little men (Caelan) is a curious mix of his mother and father. He likes closing drawers after he opens them, and he obsesses about picking the fluff out of his toes after he takes his socks off. (You can work out which trait matches which parent.)
One of his more recent behaviours, which has accompanied his interest in counting, is the creation and recitation of lists.
He often recites lists as he lies in bed early in the morning, or after lunchtime or dinner. "One, two ... four" might be heard, or "Thos (Thomas), James, Harr-ey (Harvey)" as he verbalises his passion for Thomas the Tank Engine.
This morning it was "Jum (Jim), Bruce, Jesh (Jeff)" - some of our friends from house church.
It's incredible to watch the way his malleable young mind is developing. He has a real penchant for patterns and things in series - what a wonder the human brain is.
